To apply for UCARE, students must submit an online application between November 15, 2020 - February 15, 2021 on NuRamp.
Students can apply for a project in Summer 21, Academic Year 21-22, or an extended project from June 2021 - April 2022. If a student plans to engage in two different projects in Summer 21 and Academic Year 21-22, they should submit two separate applications for each term.
